Fantasia is always forgotten. When people do remember it, they never have anything to say about it. This film is full of probably Disney's best hand-drawn animation all played out to history's best music. This film could be timeless if people would just give it a chance.

Definitely one of my favorite Classic Disney films. This film is a masterpiece. Mixing classical music with cartoons was a great idea. All the chosen classical pieces are amazing. The cartoons put with the music are beautifully drawn. This film doesn't drag even though it's 2 hours and 5 minutes. Definitely check it out if you LOVE Disney.

A misunderstood masterpiece at the time, Disney's groundbreaking film combines both classical music and stunning animation to create something entirely wonderful. Each musical cue is accounted in for in the imagery, and the mood of each piece is captured perfectly in the segment. No words needed, just the beauty in what you see and hear. For those wanting to go into the music business or join an animation studio, this is a must, because there is a reason why Fantasia stands the test of time. In addition, it is great to see a stepping stone to how Disney has gone since the humble beginnings seen here.

There are great disney and pixar animated films like Up, Inside Out, Mary Poppins, The Incredibles, Big Hero 6, Ratatouille, or both Tron and Tron Legacy but then there is Fantasia not only is this my favorite disney film of all time I think this along with a few others I just said is one of my favorite films ever.

Fantasia is definitely one of the most classical Disney movies. I think it can be hard to be understood by the newest generations of today, so used to be overstimulated and not being able to enjoy the simple nature of things, as a beautiful well executed classical piece that brings up to life fantastic creatures and original stories. There is no need to have a specific plot when the idea is that the music and images are the red thread thorough the movie. Some parts might be a bit too complex for kids to understand and purely enjoy, but why everything has to be easy and served on a silver plate?

Just because this movie has no story doesn't mean it sucks. The animation mixed with several different classical pieces works so beautifully and brilliantly that it ultimately makes the film one of Disney's absolute greatest accomplishments.

The third Walt Disney Pictures animated feature film, "Fantasia" is a groundbreaking experimental project from Walt Disney that showcases classical music and imaginative animation. Taking short Walt Disney Studio animation shorts and pairing them to compressed classical music pieces performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra was an extremely ambitious undertaking in 1940. The animation is extremely impressive for its time as it features Disney's signature character Mickey Mouse in 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' segment as well as using pioneering sound reproduction system that made "Fantasia" the first commercial film to use stereophonic sound. This was Walt Disney's masterpiece that uses music to express imagination and feelings together with animation.
